Flower Poppy Hens & Chicks 200 Non-GMO, Heirloom Seeds The Hens & Chicks poppy represents a distinctive ornamental variety within the Papaver somniferum species, distinguished by its remarkable architectural form. Each plant produces one dominant central seed pod surrounded by smaller satellite pods at its base—a natural arrangement that inspired the variety's evocative common name. This structural uniqueness makes it as visually intriguing during seed development as it is during bloom. The flowers themselves command attention with large, delicate petals in soft lilac tones accented by deep purple spotting at the center. These paper-thin blooms create a luminous quality when backlit by sunlight, making them exceptional choices for cutting gardens and ornamental borders. The variety reaches flowering maturity in approximately 70 days, allowing for strategic succession planting throughout the growing season. Beyond ornamental appeal, Hens & Chicks poppies are notably prolific seed producers—each pod yields substantial quantities of seeds valued for culinary applications including baking and oil production. This dual-purpose characteristic has made the variety popular among both gardeners and culinary enthusiasts for generations. This packet contains 200 non-GMO, heirloom seeds with a germination rate of 70% or better. Our seeds are sustainably produced, and our packaging is fully recyclable and climate-conscious, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship.
